Right so because 10% of my fuel has 66% of the BTU's available that the other 90% of my fuel has, I should be seeing a 20% reduction in mileage?

I'm well aware that ethanol has fewer btu's. That's fine, it also has different characteristics all along its life cycle and I happen to be located in the "ethanol's production and consumption is less damaging to the world than gasoline's" camp until non-retarded evidence is presented to change my view.

And my cars all run fine on E10, I don't "hypermile" at all and consistently get better than the EPA listed mileage out of them, both the ones i've modified and the GF's acura which is bone stock. If we are to assume for the sake of constructive discussion that I am not full of cr@p, this means anyone NOT experiencing the same results either has a problem with their car, their driving technique, or is buying some sort of wonky different fuel than I am.
